Ahhh, spring break. That time of year when

children across the country cry with delight at

the thought of ditching the books f or a week,

and parents scream in terror at the prospect

of having to entertain their kids when still in

the midst of winter. It's little wonder that

many parents opt to travel during the break.

But while warmer climes may lessen parents'

cabin f ever, travel brings with it a whole

other host of kid-sized stresses. But lif estyle

expert, author, and f requent flyer, Tina

O'Connor knows there is an easier way to

travel with f amily in tow.

"It needn't be nearly as stressful as we make it. The problem is that most of us

 just plop an empty suitcase on the bed and f ill 'er up, without really thinkingabout it," says O'Connor, herself the mother of three young children and the

author of B e T h a t M o m . "What happens then is you end up over-packing things

you don't really need, and under-packing the things you do."

Through her own trial and error Tina has developed what she likes to think of as

the 'magic suitcase' approach to packing. It's has less to do with the world of 

Harry Potter than it does with basic geometry and getting the right organizers.

"By using packing cubes and designated organizers you're going to have exactly

what you need every time. It's a bit like playing luggage tetris! You need to f igure

out what shapes and sizes are going to actually f it in your suitcase. Once you've

done it once, you never have to do it again, you'll always know, even on yourreturn trip, what space you have available in your suitcase."

Tina recommends that each member of the f amily have their own set of luggage and organizers, each designated f o

specif ic items. Her 'magic suitcase' demos have proven popular with both parents and children, as it allows f or older

kids to participate in their own travel preparations.

A huge host of travelling tips are available in B e T h at M o m , available from new hybrid publishing house B e T h a t
